Have a blast: Ultimate July 4th fireworks guide for Philly, Pa., NJ, Del.

From Philadelphia to the suburbs to the Delaware beaches to the Jersey Shore, there are many different places to see a sparkling fireworks show to celebrate America's birthday over the July 4th holiday week

NBC Universal, Inc.

After NE-YO and Kesha lit up the Wawa Welcome America stage, fireworks lit up the night sky over Philly on July 4th! Watch the spectacular show! 

It's that time of year again! In celebration of July 4th, there are fireworks displays around the Philadelphia region during the summer of 2024.

Here are some of the places in Philadelphia, the suburbs, Jersey Shore, Delaware Beaches and beyond where you can catch some fireworks starting July 3rd and lasting into the Independence Day weekend.

(Note that many of the shows with starting times before dark likely won't happen until after the sun goes down. Also weather could impact if the show goes on at the scheduled time.)

Luckily, much of the rain could move through before fireworks blast off on July 4.
Stay weather aware as you head out to the fireworks shows for Fourth of July because some storms are possible. NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Michelle Rotella has your forecast.
